What an amazing stand!fuck this invasion
This is a fun boss.
>>148678132
when will i be bullied by a souls pcfc
>>148678642
Host.
I feel like my Estoc + Carthus Curved Sword quality build doesn't have any major weaknesses. I sometimes have trouble with halberds when I'm not familiar with their movesets but playing passive and waiting for them to fuck it up rarely fails.
How would you try to beat my build?
>>148678491
>4 Flasks left
Did Memeless King oneshot you?
>>148678682
not drunk enough yet
>>148677376
wow, way to go by draining every ounce of fun out of pvp
seriously, no combos or insane parries that leave you going "holy shit well played", no; only running R1s until the mountains crumble into the sea
Welp, since no one else is complaining I guess I'll start the Mimic run now.
>>148678849
>combos in ds3
there are none except for broken shit like caestus
>parries
not with hornet ring
>>148678714
2hand a greatshield and thorns
>>148678802
No, I was just retarded.
>>148678932
Do you consider pyromancy comboes to be broken shit?
>>148678932
>there are none except for broken shit like caestus
what about BKG, lucerne, or storm curved sword's WA
there's possibility for combos without them being gimmicks like caestus infinite
>>148679146
you can't ever hit them so no

>thorns
Doesn't the blessed weapon + sun princess's easily outregen that?
>>148678347
Distant manor is a halfway checkpoint and allows you to reach dungeon without entering it, needed for Greirat/Siegward.
Water tower is a covenant bonfire, those should always be mandatory.
Church distance to first, specially with shortcut is minuscule, you only have 2 relevant encounters (triple knights, witch with second one offering backup) before reaching that thing.
>only just discovered the beauty, majesty, and POWER of SL85 66STR FUGS
You've been holding back on my /dsg/
Can invaders see your name if you're the host but you have no phantoms? Wondering if you can still do the old trick where you dress up as an NPC or an enemy and go idling where the enemies/NPCs hang out.
>>148679257
have fun with ccs
>>148679289
They have to lock on
Have fun!
>>148679207
GET
Finally, I can make a Heavy Caestus
>>148679249
Shitters who didn't find the shortcut would cry.
>Blessed Saint Bident only has 210 ar with 40 faith
>It LOSES faith scaling?
This must be bugged. Why must such a beautiful weapon have such little damage?
>>148679330
Nothing but pieces of paper being thrown in my way
>no true combos except two dagger r1s or WAs
>rolls greatly lose i-frames granting many fake combos based on opponent mistakes
Would this sabe PvP?
What sort of level should I be looking at to get invades as an Aldrich Faithful? I want to make a Cathedral Knight kind of character, but the vigor and faith I need means there's no way I'm low enough level to be invading in Cathedral of the Deep, so I'll go for Aldrich Faithful instead.
Also, how's this Cathedral Knight fashion?
>>148679561
good thing you die in one hit
Paladin or Cleric? Which way should I roll?

>tih-tah-nite
It's name is literally titan, but with its on the end because it's a material
>>148679570
Not if the AR, speed and HA activation of many weapons were adjusted to compensate. Ultras would be in an even worse place then they already are if that happened especially most Great Hammers.
>>148679618
Me?
With 28 Vit?
>>148679776
Just bait his fire attack. The camera is pretty shitty here but as long as he doesn't do the leg stomp you're going to be fine.
Is there a better theme in all of Dark Souls than this?

>>148679438
Is that Star Platinum?
>>148679497
That's the point of it. The walks to say, Amellia or Golem reward exploring and trigerring shortcuts. Because of the bonfire galore, the only shirtcut to even matter is the one right before pope.
>>148679981
Yeah man it's real funny when they try and trade and get two-hit.
I lmao at them all day long.
Is there a chart out there that matches soul levels with their recommended weapon reinforcements for invasions? I'm gonna be starting an invasion build shortly and it would be helpful to know where I need to stop to avoid locking myself out of PvP.

>>148680123

>>148680419
I can roll through them all then poke once. With so little health I could win with bombs and knives.
>>148680159
>actually thinks vitality does anything
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>148680606
Yeah, I have a few too many points in Vit right now. 7 or so that are free to go into anything else.
>>148679968
as much as i like the other themes, this is unequivocally the best theme of DS1
has that distinct "epic" tone to it, if you will, that the other themes were lacking
>>148679950
>With 28 Vit?
vig?
28 in that level range is what, 4 hits from CCS or something
>>148679827
It looks kind of similar to the Cathedral Knight chest but weighs less. Is there something wrong with it?
>>148680050
Yeah Cathedral Knights are big dudes. I'm trying to look big.
>>148679967
Oh that made it really slow and boring but it worked wonders

>no dragonslayer armor set in-game
whyyyyyy
it's not like it would be hard to go get it, i mean we'd literally just be equipping the boss itself
>>148680840
I just kept memeing him with a Longsword and then rolling into the window and healing with Adjudicator's and Sun Princess ring. It took some time though. Maybe try bleed?
>>148679257
It's players like you why I stuck so long with SL80 CCS build before going SL100.
>>148680493
People who don't read guides end up wandering a lot through the world before reaching that point.
I've been using the Wolf Sword but those WA are too situational. Is there anything equivalent to replace with better WA? How is the flamberge?
>>148680916
So Dragonslayer Armor is supposed to be all four of Gwyn's knights amalgamated into a construct, right?
>>148680182
Please Respond
>>148681106
Hey now, at least we have ornsteins set without a plume :^) and many other sets from DS1!! :DDDhold me
>>148681540
Black Knight Sword or Hollowslayer GS, best Greatswords in the game.
Flamberge has equivalent AR to a Claymore without any pokes and bleed that will never trigger because it's a greatsword.
If I put down a red sign and then change equipment, does it look the same as it did when I set it?
>>148681567
Armor is based on Ornstein
Dancer is based on Ciaran
AW are based on Artorias
Gough is DLC
>>148679868
>name literally means tiny giant
What the fuck
>last souls game
Surely the DLC will be an absolute dream?
The fuck is the point of the Shriving Stone?
r8 my pvp pyromancy build
Life ring is for swaps to sage+2
>>148682180
to remove infusion from your katana after realizing infusions are worse than just standard
there is no other reason for them to exist
>>148682091
hey you know it bud
believe in miyazaki our lord and savior:^)
>>148682234
Why 35 attunement? You don't get a slot from it
>>148682180
Remove infusions so you don't have to find a brand new weapon to reupgrade
>>148682234
142? da fuck is this?
>>148682180
In case someone who doesn't read guides makes his darksword blessed
>>148682180
For people dumb enough to infuse their weapons before looking at the scaling/AR in the infusion menu
>>148682356
FP softcap
>>148682394
Anti-120 memeing
It's for people who want to win but can't do it the same way others do.
Is the 20% less health for 25% cheaper spells ring worth it?
>>148682394
It's a meme for people who get btfo against legit 120s
>>148682234
looks like a great meme build!
>>148682408
but you can just swap it over to heavy or refined or whatever without needing to use a shriving stone
Does the Black Knight Sword's perseverence buff still make you deal less damage?
>>148681540
>but those WA are too situational
very situational
spin is worthless, its only use really is for quickstepping dagger/thrall axe users
leap attack is almost guaranteed to hit if you use it as per the following
1) straight after someone charges up an R2 with their UGS
2) people spamming R1 after perseverance (usually they'll expect to get free hits in since you're up close which is why you should be able to land it)
3) any other gimmicky weapon art or spell that has a huge startup time
leap attack is pretty shit and if your opponent knows what they're doing they can easily get a backstab on you straight after, but with this shit in mind you should be able to manage something
>>148682319
That's kind of wrong.
>>148682091
I'm not so sure about that. The first DLC was announced for autumm (I think) and we have basically no other information than that.
>>148682428
You can infuse a weapon again even if it's already infused.
>tfw the next actual patch is just about From getting autistic over speedruns and people leaving bosses open for fight clubs instead of actually fixing any problems in the damn game
wew
>>148682428
>>148682408
>>148682372
>>148682319
But... you can just slap another infusion on that better fits the weapon without any ill effects.
Are there any weapons that benefit from having no infusion at all?
>>148682858
What problems? The game is perfect.
>>148681905
>Dancer is based on Ciaran
>>148682858
>and people leaving bosses open for fight clubs
hm?
what are they tweaking in relation to this
>>148682858
>it's probably the last summer patch
>>148682912
that's why i said to remove infusions from katanas, because most of them at 40/40 are worse when infused
if you're quality luck though then hallowed wins out
>>148682982
You can skip bosses with tears of denial. You will not be able to anymore after the 19th. Or at least I think you won't. Fromsoftware codemonkeys are known to be garbage.
>>148682982
It's fixing the Tears of Denials skips for certain areas that allowed you to bypass certain bosses/segments of the game naturally.
Major skips with it are being able to get past Dancer, the doll wall surrounding Irithyll and Pontiff himself.
>>148682951
Both use two curved swords and one of them is yellow/orange while the other is a cooler colors.
That's what they have in common. Full stop.
People will say anything is related.
PCFC WHERE?
>>148682517
Depends on whether you're bad at hitting things or bad at not getting hit.
>>148681905
Gough is the giant
>>148682951

>they didn't read the descriptions
Dancer is descended from Ciaran
>>148683101
>>148683173
i was aware of them fixing the tears of denial shit that distortion and others had been using to skip past bosses, but the
>and people leaving bosses open for fight clubs
part made me think that they were going to penalize people who stop at a certain point of the game to host fight clubs for some reason
>>148683306
>can skip abyss watchers too
That's news to me. When did they figure that skip out?
daily reminder that if you use Rapier or Estoc then you should kill yourself for being literal cancer
>>148683379
No she isn't, Vaati. She's descended from the royal family, Gwyn's family.
>>148683397
It's really sad when you literally assume a company would penalize you for not progressing through the game.
>>148683338
out of all the pcfc players there literally only 4 people that ever host, me being one, and i dont want to watch right now.
Ok, this is the moment of truth, will I get the symbol here or will I'll be fucked till later?
So what is the new patch about ?
>>148683458
But Dancer being royal is what Vaati says
>>148683306

>>148683379
>distant daughter of the former royal family

I'm pretty sure that means Gwyn. Her soul can even be used to get Soothing Sunlight, which is, as the item description says, a miracle of Gwynevere.

It is true. My SL80 character breezed through NG+ in 2 hours.
anyone on PC got a spare saint bellvine and firstborn ring?
trying to make FAI build be not-shit for a long time in the beginning of the game
>>148686332
this has been true of every souls game so far
enemy damage/hp only goes up x% per NG, and in theory you're starting off with maxed weapons and softcapped damage output via stats
ls ng+7 any hard? l still haven't managed to beat dark souls 2 ng+7 on a lvl 200(with no spells). DLCS are too fucking hard. l like it though, but game feels too empty without people too summon aside from the ones iron keep
>>148686332
it's true to some extent, though it's a lot more noticeable in the early stages of the game where you're expected to have jack shit (vordt went down in like 7 hits from a gold resined LKGS and all the other bosses after that were piss easy)
as for late game where you'd usually have all the spells and +10 weapons it'll be harder than NG, self explanatory i suppose
>>148686448
You sound like a boring person who never went to anything but big popular sites.
>>148686374
Yeah. I can't help myself. Most fights I don't ever use it, or try to use it, but I can kinda smell when someone will fall prey to it and I just love the concept too much to not try.
>>148686332
I'm +5 and it hasn't gotten harder

>>148686878
l did play it on keyboard + mouse on my first playthrough. The game doesn't even tell you what the controls are. l almost uninstalled the game after playing 10 minutes
Right now l only play dark souls games on mouse and keyboard even though l have both ps4 and xbox controllers
lf you play dark souls 2 be sure to use autohotkey, mouse inputs are a bit lagged. Just search in google "dark souls 2 autohotkey"

I use 25 on my level 80 and that's more than enough for most ultras but doesn't let me use UGS WAs (they're useless anyways)
30-40 is ideal for the higher cost ultras like Yhorm's, BKGA and FUGS, and will also allow you to use the UGS WAs (though I don't know why you'd want to)
If you're starved for stats on a profaned GS build or something, you can get away with 25, but you really want 30+ for the 3 big boys

The Gargoyle spear is one of the few decent ones.
Would this work for invasions? I've used the RAW ASS for PvP before and have enjoyed it, and with the added damage of a 60 fth Lightning Blade I feel like it would be good for cleaving through phantoms in gank squads (although I'd have to sacrifice some estus to pack some extra ash flasks). Also, what Weapon Level should I stick to to make sure I can actually get invasions at SL70?

Hey why don't we do themed builds like this anymore?
Aside from that one anon making stereotype builds, I don't think /dsg/ has gotten creative in a while.

thanks all
>some dumbass just invaded me in the catacombs
>mfw he just got knocked off the edge by the skeleton-ball thing
Lmao
>>148688001
because ds3 is a pain in the ass to get gear
>>148688001
It's because DS3 punishes everyone who isn't full on megameta, DS2 smoothed out the need or desire for themed/fun builds by eliminating builds in the first place, and no one plays DS1 any more because it's unpolished shite in the face of the newer more technologically advanced releases that we've been spoiled by.
>play game again after long while
>everybody using katanas
What is this fresh meme

But it's never been easier to mule equipment
Honestly I'd do one if I could come up with something people would want to replicate.

Consider using FaP+2 instead of Chain. You don't need 20 endurance for a straight sword so move 5 end to vig. Other than that, you'll get plenty of invasions at +8 reinforcement

I'm at SL 140 and I've only come across 2 or so katanas in the past 10 duels, the times I did get katanas though they were running in circles and running r1

Partizan is incredibly good

>>148688365
Nah, it's annoying as hell. It either involves someone else to hold items, CE or actually beating the boring game just to try fun builds. And all those options are bothersome.

Any good youtube channel out there that has good dark souls 3 lore videos?
So what happens when your damage reduction goes above the damage of weapons, does anyone know how the formula works? I wanna use the drakeblood sword, but that split damage mang. I've considered buffing magic or lightning, sacred oath would increase damage for all types also. But I'm not gonna bother using more than 1 buff.

Anyone?
>>148688805
well it is an incredibly good weapon so yes
the amount of people that run into the instant R1 after the fully charged R2 is amazing, and they don't ever learn either, that move alone makes it the only decent great hammer
>>148688952
just come friend, you'll know it when you see it
